An entrepreneur who wears a gentleman driver’s suit and helmet, therefore, but already with a decent palmares: “Yes, I started racing late, only three years ago – concludes Marzialetti – but I immediately wanted to get involved by bringing my quality of entrepreneur on the track. I started attending the sporting events of the Ferrari Club Italia Squadra Corse chaired by Vincenzo Gibiino and in the 488 Pista category I won a first and a second place in the last two seasons “.
“This year I hope to confirm once again, I will not be alone, but with my friend Giorgio Tibaldo who has to his credit a great experience in the world of racing with the titles CITurismo ’97, Mazda MX5 ’99 and participation in F2000 championships. , Italian and South American F3, IMSA, Ferrari Challenge, Renault Cup Europe, Alfa Cup and EGTS. “
